Yeah. I don't understand why it's taking so much time and effort and debate when all it would really take is literally a single line of code to change the default value of the setting that blocks or allows third-party cookies. I'd bet most users won't even notice the difference.

The original RFC that introduced cookies specifically said that third-party cookies aren't permitted. Then Netscape broke it. Then everyone else did. It's about time browsers become spec-compliant.

Exactly. Carbon emission controls the second derivative of global temperature. What we've done is reduce the pressure with which the accelerator is pushed to the floor of the car, but it hasn't had time to spring back up yet and close the throttle.

FWIW: people were warning about this control problem (and even using that very metaphor) back in the 1980's.
It depends how people are reporting it. If I'm thinking in terms of my W2 number (which is what I would use if you asked me how much I made last year), that's affected by the price at vest, not at grant.

I appreciate the author's framing of "transaction costs." These costs are often hidden.

It seems that as systems scale (in size) they tend to become inherently lower-trust. Consider a physician who makes house calls (not uncommon as recently as a few generations ago, and certainly not incompatible with modern medicine) and a large medical system such as Kaiser Permanente or NHS.

The economic benefits of the larger-scale system are obvious, and are directly measured, but the economic detriment due to increased transaction costs (derived from decreased trust) are neither obvious nor readily measurable.

Upsides of systems at scale can still outweigh downsides, and often do, but I suspect many industrial systems have a maximum scale above which efficiency gains lose out to, in this author's framing, transaction costs.

This abuts certain natural "borders" for system growth, such as national (or in the case of EU, common market) boundaries.
They have a plan, but it's a less evil plan than other mfrs. My Pixel 2 XL, which is FINE, is now out of software support. I bought it in August 2018, when it was the latest Pixel. Meanwhile my wife's 6S, from Sept 2015, is still supported. Go sue Google!

That seems unlikely. Google is one of many providers in this space, it's unlikely that a sole trader could afford the liability provisions, and anti-trust doesn't really tend to stretch to "you're too small for me to bother trading with you."
I like the idea. But relay.firefox.com could have been shorter, I suppose it doesn’t matter here because the extension is supposed to roll you a new one and paste it in. But I’d like a service with a shorter domain for reading to people over the phone or at a store, double especially when it’s a throwaway anyhow.
This exactly. No attempt at forcing logical or unbiased discourse will ever work, because people simply are not persuaded by logical argument, regardless of how many irrefutable facts are presented.

It's a laudable and understandable goal to try to fix online discourse using clever tech, but I am highly skeptical it will ever work, because people simply do not care to have their minds changed.

I'm unsure what the actual solution to this, if there ever will be one. Improving population education as a whole seems to me to be the only way, but I fear that even if possible that will take so long that it will no longer matter.

I legitimately fear that ultimately human beings are not evolved enough to be able to effectively manage the effortless global communication systems that we've developed.
I seriously doubt people writing web software are planning for intentional races in their system designs the way an OS dev does to avoid synchronization overhead.
It was the first comparison that came to mind. You can replace my example with comparison to generalizations against black people in the US if that doesn't break the Internet Law.

Got it. The issue isn’t then in finding restaurants with v/vg options, but instead finding those items in the menu? We haven’t standardized the tagging in menus too much in Germany yet, but this would definitely help. A separate category for v/vg would be another solution. Let me take a discussion on this with the team and see how this could be improved. Also happy to take any suggestions.

3rd-party cookies aren't actually intrinsic to OIDC auth flows. They might be used by some implementations under some flows, but they're not core to the spec.

Typically the user agent will redirect to a Google/etc login page where it'll have access to first-party cookies. Then will redirect back to the site which requested authentication, passing state in the query params. It's only when you get into using stuff like Okta as a delegated authentication service do you run into trouble with 3rd party cookies.

Edit: As an example, I just logged into Stackoverflow using Google as the authenticator, with umatrix blocking 3rd-party cookies. Worked without a hitch.
Argument mapping is a pretty well-established genre (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_map), and over the years there have been many software incarnations of it. I think one reason that it hasn't caught on as a way of resolving political issues is simply that many people, if not most, are not interested in rational argument. They have an objective in mind that they did not arrive at by reasoning it out, and now they want to achieve that objective. To them, argument simply gets in the way of a decision that they have already made.

Would be interesting to hear your experience with interviewing with and working for a coastal company. I'm in a similar situation - from and in the middle of nowhere.

I am paid very well for my locality - indeed, I have more than doubled my starting salary out of college - but I still make less than six figures after ~8 years. My current job has some big benefits (light workload most of the time, little stress, a lot of flexibility, very strong job security, easily impressed management), but...well, if I could make 250k working remote, I'd strongly consider it.

My experience with interviewing with coastal companies for remote positions is they were adamant about basing my salary on what I currently make + x%; my impression is that by hiring remotely they thought they could get a deal. I ended up leveraging this into a counteroffer, so I still came out ahead, but I'm not really interested in risking my intangibles for just a few bucks.
Well, you can put gas into a canister and manually refill it. That’s not possible with electric cars unless you want to use a hometrainer with a generator to charge your car.

I started an open source project in web AR a year ago, because the commercial alternatives are too expensive for general use. It’s exceptionally challenging for me because of my lack of knowledge in computer vision.

The particularly challenging thing is that in order for it to be usable in web, utilising GPU is essential, but I’ve never written any webgl code before. I tried a couple of things and finally got an interesting idea of using tensorflow. I found that tensorflowJS has a well written core API with webgl backend, and I finally coded a version on top of that. Nope, I’m not using it for machine learning! :)

I believe the library has reached to a state that could be valuable for anyone interested in web AR. I’m also looking for engineers/researchers who would be interested to collaborate. I could definitely use some help in a lot of area.

> less about the idea of using a full programming language for HTML styling

And yet, here I am in 2021 writing an execjs wrapper to compile Tailwind via Sprockets because of how much I've come to loathe Webpack.

> more about just liking Lisp and wanting an application for it

Well, yes, or rather more specifically Scheme, and I do believe that was my opening confession in the top level comment.

> It is arguably inappropriate to require someone to "learn Lisp" in order to style HTML

And it never should've been so, and it didn't need to be so with DSSSL either, because how much further might we have come in twenty years with an underlying language that wasn't basically hobbled out of the gate? Yet styling HTML with raw CSS is still programming, requiring knowledge of tree structures, a vast and ever-growing array of selectors and pseudo-classes and properties, recursion, priority ordering, an expression syntax not a million miles from S-expressions, the HTML DOM, four or five different box & layout models, and typography, not to mention all the browser quirks; oh, and - in practice, let's face it - Javascript; and yet 2 out of 3 major browsers still can't consistently size & center a top-level absolute block element, !important is the standard voodoo prayer for many, and fixing misbehaving CSS is basically debugging but in a language that lacks almost any first-class construct that might help.

So after all this further reflection, and notwithstanding that I've built up tons of valuable-in-practice crystallized experience in bending CSS to my will, I'm even more irked about the way things turned out.
This is something we have been looking into - to be able to search not only nearby restaurants, but also nearby dishes matching the search criteria.

Yes, I compare it with richest cities/countries. In poor European countries it's not uncommon to only get 1000 Euro NET salary per month.
They do have access, at least in theory and to some of the services.

But when people do become homeless in Finland, their problems usually run quite deep already, and they may just be quite difficult to help.

I don't know if this is true but I've understood that in the U.S. homelessness might more often be a result of just financial downfall, while in Finland homelessness is very strongly connected to mental illness, substance dependence, or both [1]. Those people have pretty much lost control of having a normal life, or perhaps they never had one. That doesn't mean they shouldn't be helped, but it does mean helping them is likely to be an uphill battle.

Drug addiction does get judged harshly by the society in general; alcohol abuse is likely to be swept under the rug unless it causes obvious problems e.g. at work, but if it does, it gets judged as well, although not quite as harshly as drug abuse. I'd expect most social workers and medical professionals who work with the homeless to know better than to see addiction as just a moral failure, though, so the problem may rather be that it's quite difficult to treat people who have a multitude of problems that run deep. Health care professionals might be wary of committing limited public resources in cases if they don't expect it to bear fruit, so the mental health services might be limited to emergency care and general assistance by social workers.

I'm not intimately familiar with how those services work, though, so they might be more extensive than I think.

[1] That is, at least among the native population; another visible group of homeless are poor immigrants living in the streets. They probably just wanted a better life in a richer country or something, and their reasons for vagrancy are probably different.
Not the OP but I had the same thought.

I get frustrated by the “both sides” presented by mainstream media like the NYT, CNN, etc. it’s always democrats on one side, republicans on the other, as if there’s not an entire political spectrum that expands beyond those two.

The effect is it limits the “allowed” perspectives to within those two bounds. This is often exploited by those in power to control the bounds of possibility (that’s the manufacturing consent part).
Don’t do that. Use it as spare parts for a new project.

No. This is the problem YOU have with it. Most of the non-tech people I know have no idea what you are even talking about.

This is directionally right but practically wrong.

You will be a disliked product manager if you continually tell people what they want to hear, but never deliver on it.

Rather, tell (read: persuade) people what they need to hear. Your job as a product manager is to negotiate and reconcile high-level plans and low-level execution.
I think there is a lot of good to talk about, with just a little creativity: hundreds of thousands of jobs in a green economy, cleaner cities, ending the dependence on oil from autocratic nations, devices that you can repair and use for decades instead of discarding after eighteen months. You will never convince people to willingly downgrade their standard of living, but you can convince them to side-grade. Can you convince billions of people to turn vegan? Probably not, but you can convince them to eat synthetic meat, specially if it is cheaper, safer, and more consistent than beef from a live cow.

My dad worked in pulmonary oncology for 35 years, I think that better air quality, less lung disease and better overall environment is a reward itself, that's the prize we get for positive externalities (and in case of EVs the State incentives, in Italy they are up to 10k euros if you buy a new EV car and get rid of an old ICE one).

I worked in obsolescence in a previous job - it was a small department, with a very specialized knowledgebase, and tricky purpose.

People don't realize that it is a very difficult balancing act to keep electronics working over the long term due to the ever advancing pace of technology (hardware and software), complexity of manufacturing, materials availability, customer demand, etc.

One part of that could include rapid design refreshes planned on a schedule to avoid obsolescence issues, for example. When viewed a certain way, pumping out new products rapidly and not supporting old products for long periods of time could be perceived as planned obsolescence, but is possibly a reaction to customer demands..

I am not defending planned obsolescence here (perhaps pointing out a different concept entirely given its current negative definition), but there is a point of view that planning for and addressing obsolescence in a controlled and transparent manner, proactively, may actually be a good thing, not a bad thing. But it could be quite hard to see that perspective as a consumer.

Also, certainly, when done behind the scenes for reasons that only serve the best interests of a private organization and not the customer and/or environment - that is an entirely different story and not acceptable.

Kind of. Appropriately normalizing the primes with some kind of function based on log(log(n)) would probably allow the article's technique to perform well (still struggling on larger primes -- you can't avoid needing a lot of bits to express those gaps), but it's precisely the shifting density which makes the problem hard to learn with any standard algorithm, and I don't think theirs would be an exception since they explicitly rely on gaps drawn from some fixed distribution.

EVs typically have a different motor for the front and back wheels, so they would have most of the same traction benefit of a 4x4 system. In the case of companies like Tesla, I think they market as AWD because that implies a system designed for slippery roads, and not off road trails. 4x4 or 4WD can differ a lot but all typically include a locking center differential so that even if both front (or rear) wheels have no traction, the vehicle can move.
